[lbo-talk] Responsibilities

[Carrol Cox]

I agree they are different. I have tried various times (including in a
pargraph I just wrote and deleted) to work out a fuller accounting of
the fact. I will note without developmennt that _most_ of the
differences revolve around those "social" issues that simply lie outside
the substantial interests of the ruling class. (I find "ruling class"
and every other term I or others have used unsatisfactory, but i"ll leae
it here.)
